Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 956 Intuition on the battlefield

Just when Fei Qian watched the black line approaching suddenly, there were several crisp sounds, but Zhang Liao danced his spear in an instant, shooting towards Fei Qian's side like a barrier. All the arrows bounced off and flew into the air.

   When Fei Qian was still in shock, there were several long screams from the soldiers nearby, but it was the soldiers on his side who couldn't dodge in time, and were shot with arrows on the spot!

At some point, a team of more than 20 scouts from Xiliang had approached and hid in a small field in the distance. Perhaps Zhang Liao and others were all focused on crossing the river, or Fei Qian ordered Let people go forward to find a suitable place to start the fire. Perhaps these Xiliang scouts felt that Fei Qian was a target worth risking to kill, so they suddenly launched an attack!

The sky had already dimmed, in order not to attract attention, Fei Qian and the others did not raise fire when they swam, and they had just crossed the Juqishui, no matter Zhang Liao and the other soldiers or Fei Qian and the others were all wet, Where are there any torches and other lighting objects, and the torches thrown by the Xiliang scouts immediately directly illuminate the figures of Fei Qian and others, while the attackers on the small mound are hidden in the night It's shadowy and unclear.

From the small mound to this side, it was only a hundred steps away, but under the cover of the sound of rushing water and the noise of people and horses when swimming, Zhang Liao couldn't hear any special sounds. If it weren't for the keen perception of a warrior, maybe he would only notice something strange when he was shot in the body.

No matter which side the scouts are from, as long as they are veterans, they are basically proficient in bows and horses. Listening to the screaming sound of arrows, they basically know that these Xiliang scouts are using the hard bows of the three stones in the army, and the arrows they shoot are very strong. Quickly and urgently, several soldiers who were shot entered their bodies with arrows, and the arrows almost came out from the other end!

For the convenience of crossing the river, all the people took off their armor and swam across, and the armor was separated. Otherwise, the heavy armor would drag people into the Juqi water. Therefore, when the Xiliang scouts suddenly attacked with bows and arrows, they were completely defenseless. Often being shot in the body is a serious injury.

Before the screams of the pawns hit by the arrow fell, Zhang Liao had already slammed his spear in front of him, snatched the bow and arrow from the horse beside him, opened the bow in the blink of an eye, and returned the arrow with a whoosh. With one arrow, the power of the bow was really strong, and there was a loud screaming sound. Suddenly, there was a scream on the other side of the small mound, and one person fell down!

  But Zhang Liao shot again and again, but they all missed...

  One side is bright, the other side is dark.

  Relying on his memory, Zhang Liao shot the arrow along the trajectory of the torch thrown just now. The Xiliang scout on the small mound over there changed his position slightly, which made Zhang Liao lose his aim.

  But it was Zhang Liao who bought the time to breathe, and several personal guards on Fei Qian's side immediately surrounded him, surrounded Fei Qian, and protected him behind him.

   "Extinguish the fire! Extinguish the fire!" Fei Qian knew that he couldn't help much now, so he just reminded loudly, "Use a damp cloth and sand to cover it!"

  Zhang Liao also shouted from the side: "Come on! Protect... get behind the horse!"

  Zhang Liao was just about to call out the word Junhou, but subconsciously swallowed it back. Under such circumstances, shouting about Fei Qian’s official position is undoubtedly setting a huge target for those Xiliang scouts...

  The second round of feather arrows has roared in. Although the Xiliang scouts didn't know that Fei Qian was standing here, at least half of them were still coming in the direction of Fei Qian and Zhang Liao!

   After all, it is too obvious that the two of them are together.

  Huang Xu walked around in front of Fei Qian without saying a word, waving the saber in his hand frantically, while desperately blocking the flying arrows, he pushed Fei Qian back.

  In order to cover Fei Qian, a personal guard didn't care to dodge. Suddenly, the arrow pierced through his chest, and the blood dripped out in front of Fei Qian. The gushing blood splashed all over Fei Qian's face.

   Fortunately, his vision was now dim, and Fei Qian, who was covered, quickly escaped from the range of the torch and disappeared into the eyes of the Xiliang scouts, so these Xiliang scouts turned their targets to the soldiers who were trying to put out the fire.

  Just crossed Juqishui, most of the soldiers' clothes were still wet, so the soldiers on one side had already rushed out, took off their clothes and were about to extinguish the burning torches on the ground.

These people became the focus of the Xiliang scouts. Arrows flew one after another. One was shot in the shoulder, and the other was shot in the calf, and was snatched away by the brothers around him. The other two people were not so lucky. , was shot directly in the body, and fell to the ground with a plop...

The feathered arrows on the small mound also came very fast, only the trembling of the bowstring could be heard one after another, and the arrows screamed in the air, just to suppress the people who were coming forward to put out the fire, and others were aimed at Fei Qian's here. The shooting caused some panic among Fei Qian's soldiers.

   Where did these people come from? !

Fei Qian was escorted by Huang Xu and other personal guards to the side, and after avoiding the frontal attack of the rain of arrows, his panic and attack stabilized a bit, so he clenched his fists tightly, took a few deep breaths, and Regardless of wiping off the blood splashed on his face, he forced himself to quickly start thinking and examining the current situation.

At the moment Zhao Yun is still on the south bank of the Juqishui River. There are only Zhang Liao and less than 200 soldiers on the north bank. The rest of the soldiers and most of the weapons and armor are still on the south bank. In fact, the number of scouts is not much. It is not too big to resist or even solve the problem of these Xiliang scouts. It is just the length of time and the price paid...

   But the important question now is, behind these Xiliang scout squads, are there any other Xiliang soldiers, and are there any troops from the brigade!

If this is just a small number of Xiliang scouts, then the problem is not too big. However, if Li Jue's large army is here, or is rushing here on the north bank, then what Fei Qian is facing is not just a simple last stand. It's not good, I will die here!

Li Jue and the others are one person with two horses. It is indeed possible to go around to the front of Feiqian, and to be honest, the terrain in the Guanzhong area may be more familiar than Xiliang and others, so It is also possible to guard yourself here and catch yourself by surprise!

On top of the small mound, another blasphemy tied with burning cloth rose up into the sky, screaming and drawing a clear line of fire in the sky. In the Han Dynasty where there was no light pollution, it was estimated that it could be seen from ten miles away. See!

   This is a report, this is a call for reinforcements!

   Now you are Jin?

   Still back?

   Can't wait any longer!

   Now Feiqian has to come up with an idea, and if he takes a wrong step, it may be lost forever!

  Do you want to retreat?

   Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao may have a problem with their investigation, maybe they were careless and negligent?

   It's like Zhang Liao failed to notice the small group of Xiliang scouts approaching on the small mound, maybe Li Jue was just bluffing on the south bank, but actually turned to the north bank?

  After all, the soldiers led by Zhao Yun on the south bank of Juqishui still hadn't disarmed, and the number of soldiers was larger than that on the north bank. Maybe it would be safer, and it would be easier to resist...

Asking Zhao Yun to lead his soldiers to the river bank and suppress them with bows and arrows, even though these Xiliang scouts dare not approach, he can safely escape from this dangerous area, and then take a detour to Wannian County to Zhengguo Canal with his troops, which seems to be a good idea. s Choice.

  But at the next moment, Fei Qian was blown by the night wind, and his feverish head seemed to cool down a little.

   No!

  As soon as the idea of ​​retreating arises, another voice in my heart vetoes it.

   It is impossible to have Li Jue's large troops on the north bank of Juqishui!

   One should not doubt the judgment of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao!

Because along the way, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were making all kinds of marching arrangements and vigilance. Since Zhang Liao proposed to go through Juqishui or cross the Zhengguo Canal in ten thousand years, it means that at least when Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were detecting, this There was no trace of Li Jue's large troops in the two places, so what appeared in front of him was very likely to be a small group of troops sent by Li Jue to patrol the river...

  Believe in yourself or believe in Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao?

  Fei Qian closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths...

   "Let Zilong speed up to cross the river!"

   Fei Qian ordered decisively: "Wen Yuan! Get on the horse! Lead the assault! Destroy the enemy soldiers in front!"

  On the battlefield, since there is a decision, there should be no hesitation in the slightest. Trust Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun's judgment and not easily change the established plan, which can reassure subordinates and is also an effective measure to stabilize soldiers.

Although we are facing a small group of troops, since the rocket has been shot, it means that Fei Qian's traces here have been exposed, every minute and every second is extremely precious, maybe Li Jue's large troops will appear at any time !

Zhao Yun on the south bank of Juqishui saw Feiqian being attacked on the north bank, and he, who was always extremely calm, also became a little anxious. Although he had his bow in his hand, he couldn't see the other bank clearly across the Juqishui in the dark sky. Where the enemy is, even if he wants to help, he can't help, and a thin layer of sweat can't help but appear on his forehead.

   "Your Majesty has an order, cross the river quickly!" A messenger ran to the edge of the Juqi water and shouted at Zhao Yun.

   "Wei!" Zhao Yun took a deep breath to calm down his anxiety, and then continued to arrange people to cross the river.

Which one of the cowhide ropes is used to lift the armor, which one is used to transport the weapons, whether the speed of the soldiers who are packing and tying can keep up, and whether the soldiers waiting to cross the river in front of the other cowhide ropes are evenly balanced. Everything moved quickly under Zhao Yun's arrangement.

   The more this kind of moment, the less you can panic!

Zhao Yun kept reminding himself, and then calmly analyzed and deployed. With Zhao Yun's orderly arrangement and command, the soldiers on the south bank of Juqishui quickly calmed down under the panic, and began to change from a state of stagnation and chaos. The flow was effective, and I started to speed up to swim to the north bank. Before I knew it, the speed of crossing the river was three points faster than before...

As for Zhang Liao on the north bank of Juqishui, although he didn't wear armor, he didn't hesitate in the slightest when he heard Fei Qian's order. The armored soldiers rushed towards the small mound!

On the battlefield, Zhang Liao seemed to have an innate intuition. When he was attacked suddenly, almost before the scouts from Xiliang attacked, he was already alert, and let the first wave of the deadliest arrows The arrow was not able to hurt Fei Qian a single bit.

Just now before Fei Qian gave the order, although Zhang Liao hadn't said anything, he was still observing the situation of the small mound, and when he heard Fei Qian's order, he led a few cavalry and rushed out with agility and awe. lightning!

Zhang Liao did not rush straight towards the small mound, but bypassed it a bit, avoiding the front part of the small mound. On the one hand, it could pull away the attack angle of the Xiliang scouts on the small mound, and on the other hand You can also avoid some traps that these Xiliang scouts may have set in front of the small mound...

Sure enough, when the Xiliang scouts on the small mound saw Zhang Liao leading the men around half a circle and attacking from the side, they immediately panicked. These Xiliang scouts saw Fei Qian and the others swimming with their horses. How could they not Make some preparations, but the traps prepared by the Xiliang scouts are basically facing the direction of Fei Qian's soldiers. Who would have thought that Zhang Liao led his men half a circle around the small mound before attacking them?

When the scouts from Xiliang realized something was wrong, they hurriedly turned around and shot in Zhang Liao's direction, Xiang Feiqian's suppressive force here suddenly became much thinner, and the rest of the soldiers immediately seized the opportunity, even covering him with a wet cloth and splashing on it. The sand and soil suffocated all the scattered torches scattered around.

   The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness, only the stars above the head.

Losing the advantage of the light, the arrows shot by the scouts from Xiliang suddenly became inaccurate. On the contrary, Fei Qian organized some soldiers to cover the arrow rain in the past two or three waves according to the approximate direction. Although it was also impossible to aim, But the advantage lies in the large number, there will always be a few unlucky ghosts destined to get one or two arrows...

Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worse, these Xiliang scouts didn't expect a small mound to resist Zhang Liao's surprise attack, so before Zhang Liao rushed to the front, they panicked and rolled down from the mound, pulling After passing the horse hidden behind the mound, hit the horse and flee.

  Zhang Liao pursued for a while, killing several soldiers who were running slowly. Originally wanted to keep alive, but it was difficult to control the aim of his bow and arrow in the dark night. Although he shot a little to the side, he still hit his chest and abdomen. When Zhang Liao came close, the unlucky Xi Scout Liang was already vomiting blood bubbles at the mouth, unable to utter a word, took a few hard breaths and died...

   There are no survivors, what should I do?

  Who can know the exact location of Li Jue's troops?
